Garrons

/ˈɡærənz/ noun

Definition

Plural of garron; multiple sturdy horses or ponies used for carrying loads.

Etymology

Plural form of garron from Irish/Scottish Gaelic sources. The plural emerged as these animals became more common subjects in English-language farming and travel accounts.

Kelly Says

In the Highlands and Irish countryside, garrons were absolutely essential—they were the only reliable way to transport goods, mail, and people through terrain too rough for carts or regular horses.
